“Increasing the minimum wage will just push the prices up of everything.”

My brother in Christ, I don’t know where you have been for the last 5 years, but they have done that anyway whilst minimum wage has remained the same.

If you feel like you’ve know what the movie is, 3 things: (1) you actually haven’t seen footage like this; (2) there a series of phone calls around 45 minutes in that rivals the call in “Navalny”; (3) it reframes the coverage of the Alabama prison strike in ways that make you want to punch people.

Mourning those murdered by Hamas isn't incompatible with mourning those murdered by the Israeli state.

Demanding that the hostages return isn't incompatible with naming & demanding an end to genocide.

Naming the power imbalance & impact thereof doesn't desecrate those murdered two years ago today.

There's a line that we say at the very beginning of the Yom Kippur service that operates on very similar principles to work fighting for a more whole world, and against the prision industrial complex.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

Chuck Schumer has showed us time and time again that he is wholly incapable of understanding and meeting the dangerous moment we are in.

It’s time for new (and better) Democratic leadership.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

During Trump's first term, some EPA scientists said managers encouraged them to delete evidence of chemicals’ harms, including cancer, miscarriage and neurological problems, from their reports. In some cases, they said, the managers deleted the information themselves.

Every so often I despair thinking that the Techbros have the upper hand in an info war - because they figured out how to build our current info ecosystem.

Then I remember that they didn’t build shit. Elon can’t code. Zuck bought Instagram. All they do is acquire.

They’re shoppers.

800 doctors submitted a letter of support for RFK Jr’s HHS secretary nomination.

It turns out most signatories weren’t real doctors, or were doctors who had their licenses revoked or suspended.

Using fake experts to create an illusion of credibility is a classic anti-vax tactic.

Not sure how many people are calling out some of our colleagues in medicine who are actively supporting RFK Jr’s anti-science bullshit.

Didn’t we all study the same things in med school?
